Dodge Ram Truck 1500 Running Boards
Do I need side steps for trucks?
Side steps are perfect for anyone who could use assistance stepping into a large or lifted vehicle. They’re great for pets — any dog that’s too small, too old or just too lazy to take that giant leap in. They’re ideal for anyone loading a young child into a car seat, or shorter adults to make entry a bit easier. Overall they make your vehicle more accessible while providing a sharp, upgraded look!
Do they protect the truck itself, or just help you get in?
Both. Beyond the step, the board runs along your rocker panel and helps deflect kicked-up gravel, road debris and the small stuff that chips your paint over years of driving, so your finish looks newer for longer.
How do I install my Running Boards for trucks?
With WeatherTech’s Running Boards, there’s no drilling, therefore, no compromise to your truck or SUV that can lead to regret at trade-in. Our brackets are custom fit for your vehicle's make and model, so your frame stays untouched with no aftermarket holes you'll regret if you ever sell the truck. They only take about 15-25 minutes per side to install. Our side runner boards are adjustable to accommodate personal preference closer or further from the vehicle.
What materials are best for all-weather running boards?
Each of our WeatherTech Running Boards pairs a T6063-T6 aluminum base with a rubber-like textured step and powder-coated steel mounting brackets, a combination of materials chosen for unparalleled durability. Because these are so high quality, you can set them and forget them — you'll never need another pair of boards. Thanks to their materials and design, our Running Boards visually enhance your truck for a sleek, “OEM-plus” build.
What makes WeatherTech’s Running Boards the best?
Our Running Boards feature a flat, 6" wide step with a textured surface for enhanced traction. The rubber-like ribbed step with curved edges lets water run off the step, and elevates your foot above any ice for slip resistance. Our boards support up to 350 lbs. per side.
Because these Running Boards are one long board per side versus the 4 shorter ones offered by some competitors, you’ll have the ability to move up and down the length of the vehicle, adjusting items on the roof, washing windows, etc.
Are these actually made in the USA?
100%, start to finish! They’re not just “assembled domestically” from a box of foreign parts. That matters if you care where your money goes. We’re proud to offer you the highest quality product on the market backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
